An air-filled parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of $2 \ pF$. If the separation between the plates is doubled and the interspace between the plates is filled with a dielectric material,the capacity increases to $6 \ pF$. The dielectric constant of the material is:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $4$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \ pF$. The distance between the plates is $d$. Now,the space between the plates is filled with two dielectrics. One dielectric has a dielectric constant $K_1 = 3$ and thickness $d/3$,while the other has a dielectric constant $K_2 = 6$ and thickness $2d/3$. Find the new capacitance of the capacitor in $pF$.

$A$ parallel-plate capacitor with plate area $A$ has a separation $d$ between the plates. Two dielectric slabs of dielectric constants $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$,each having an area of $A/2$ and thickness $d/2$,are inserted in the space between the plates as shown in the figure. The equivalent capacitance of the capacitor will be:

Two identical condensers $M$ and $N$ are connected in series with a battery. The space between the plates of $M$ is completely filled with a dielectric medium of dielectric constant $8$,and a copper plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates of $N$ ($d$ is the distance between the plates). Then the potential differences across $M$ and $N$ are,respectively,in the ratio:

If half of the space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a medium of dielectric constant $4$,the capacitance is $C_1$. If one third of the space between the plates of the capacitor is filled with the medium of dielectric constant $4$,the capacitance is $C_2$. If in both cases,the dielectric is placed parallel to the plates of the capacitor,then $C_1: C_2=$

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates of area $0.4 \pi \,m^2$ and spacing of $0.5 \,mm$. If a slab of thickness $0.5 \,mm$ and dielectric constant $4.5$ is introduced in between the plates of the capacitor, then the capacitance of the capacitor is
